among the projective methods of personality study a special place belongs to Rene Gilles method, developed in 1959, which can be used for psychological studies of children aged 4 to 12 years.
Technique Rene Gilles includes 25 images that host children and adults or children only, and 17 test items.All these tasks are aimed at identifying characteristics of the child's behavior in actual life situations for him, as well as situations in which affected his attitude toward the people around.Each picture is attached a short text that describes certain circumstances, and asks the child.
For example, in the picture, which offers a method of Rene Gilles, can be depicted table with chairs arranged in a circle, and the child is invited to sit at the table yourself and your family or friends, classmates.The text describes the tasks specific situation and offers some typical forms of behavior in it, of which the child needs to choose the most suitable for him.For example: "Comrade took your thing without permission. What are you going to do: cry, nakrichit, complain, you will start to beat him, tried to take away? Underline one of the answers."
processing techniques Rene Gilles carried out by a special scale, consisting of 13 points.After examination of the child psychologist clarifies its interesting data and draw conclusions.
Technique Rene Gilles allows psychologists to describe the system of personal relationships of the test, which consists of two groups.The first includes indicators characterizing the child's attitude towards people (mom, dad, both parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, a friend or a friend, teacher or tutor).Performance of the second group is characterized by such personal characteristics of the child, as a curiosity, the adequacy of the behavior, the desire to be a leader in the group, the desire for solitude and the desire to stay in large groups.
It is important that the test was performed in individual form.Before beginning his psychologist should explain to the child that he was expected to answer questions on the tests and pictures.
From the test requires that he chose for himself a place among the people in the picture.Or I identify with a character who takes a position in the group.The text of the child must select techniques peculiar to his form of behavior from these options.
for simple, sketchy, which is different technique Rene Gilles, it is the most easy-to-child.And also it gives you the opportunity to present the results of the survey not only qualitatively but also quantitatively.
Technique Rene Gilles compared to other projective techniques has a great advantage, because it is a transitional variant between projective tests and questionnaires.It can be used as a tool for in-depth study of personality.Furthermore, it is well suited for studies that require measurement and statistical processing.
